dc.description.abstractAim: Turkey introduced price and non-price measures in recent years to reduce smoking. Thegovernment banned smoking in all enclosed workplaces and public places. Then, theyextended the ban to include all restaurants, cafeterias, and the hospitality sector in 2009 andincreased the Special Consumption Tax dramatically on tobacco products by 20 percent in2010. This study aims to examine regional disparities in cigarette consumption across Turkishcities employing provincial-level data by utilizing a club convergence test.Material and Methods: We report some descriptive results for the smoking trend for subregions of Turkey. Then, we explore regional disparities in smoking across Turkish provinces,employing monthly provincial-level data, through a club convergence test in pre-pandemicperiod, 2009-2017.Results: Our results suggest that the initial effects of the anti-tobacco policies resulted in asubstantial decline in smoking. It seems that distinct regions behave differently to the policychanges in a way that some areas reduce their cigarette consumption considerably while someregions did not. Club convergence test results demonstrate that it is not proper to conduct acommon tobacco control policy in Turkey since there is more than one convergence club inthe analyses.Conclusion: We encourage authorities to decentralize power by including local agencies andmunicipalities in enforcing the anti-tobacco law. We urge authorities to take different policymeasures for different regions. Besides, from a pandemic perspective, one can argue that theregional disparities in cigarette consumption is also a signal for the need of diversified healthpolicies across regions in Turkey.en_US
